Question

Ben needs to replace two sides of his fence. One side is 367 9/100 meters long, and the other is 329 3/10 meters long. How much fence does Ben need to buy?

Answer 1

`696(39)/(100)` meters fence

Explanation:

Ben needs to replace two sides of his fence.

The length of one side of fence =
`367(9)/(100)` meters

The length of other side of fence =
`329(3)/(10)` meters

to calculate the length of fence that Ben need to buy we will add the length of both sides.

`367(9)/(100)` +
`329(3)/(10)`

=
`(36709)/(100)` +
`(3293)/(10)`

=
`(36709+32930)/(100)`

=
`(69639)/(100)`

=
`696(39)/(100)` meters

Ben need to buy
`696(39)/(100)` meters fence.
